Received Our 1-Year Patch For Supporting “Lifestyle Overland”

I get a lot of inspiration watching a number of enterprising creators on YouTube. 

It’s fun to see people crafting interesting content on the platform. It’s also neat to see the production values that can be achieved with hardware and software packages available to regular consumers. 

I’ve been meaning to write about some of the creators I enjoy watching. 

Bridget and I recently received our “1-year patch” for supporting the Lifestyle Overland YouTube channel via Patreon. 

The patch came in this envelope that featured a Lifestyle Overland Topo Bear decal on the flap: 

Inside the package was our 1-year anniversary patch, two decals with the anniversary artwork, and a “Thank You” card from the McCuiston family: 

I find bits of swag like this to be a lot of fun. 

I stumbled upon the Lifestyle Overland channel about a year ago, and quickly found the off-road adventures of the McCuiston family (Kevin, Sarah, and daughter Caroline) to be compelling viewing. 

The production value of each video is excellent (they started uploading in 4K for the current season’s videos), and the music selections are spot on (I particularly enjoy the opening theme song). 

The family has geared their collective life towards the overlanding experience. It’s fascinating to see people steer towards their passion. 

Bridge and I aren’t terribly “outdoorsy” ourselves. So it’s kind of nice to be able to live vicariously through “camp life” aficionados like the McCuiston family. 

There are a lot of interesting videos to explore on the Lifestyle Overland channel. As of this writing, the family is currently enjoying the scenic wonders of Utah: 

The 50-part “Overlanding the North Country” series (which takes you to Northern Canada and Alaska) is a particular favorite of mine, and shows the positives and negatives of an overlanding lifestyle: 

To experience the entire slate of Lifestyle Overland videos for yourself, head on over to their YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/lifestyleoverland.

I really enjoyed the anniversary patch we received from Lifestyle Overland. It’s nice to be able to support content creators (even in a small way). Bridget and I have enjoyed their adventure thus far, and are looking forward to seeing where the family’s travels take them this year.
